If you love to sing, then Sacred Harp might be for you! Sacred Harp singing (also known as “shapenote” or “fasola” singing) is one of the foundations of modern American folk, bluegrass, and gospel. Starting with a brief history of the music and notation, participants will learn to read shapenote music and begin singing a cappella in four-part harmony. All books and other materials will be provided free for use. Please visit www.sacredharpiowa.org for more information about the music and to hear samples of singing. Everyone is welcome, for everyone can sing!
